operation of the Grease Gun. Be extra careful while working with Needle point Grease Adapters and Dispensers. Keep your hands away from the Needle point at all times and when injecting Grease.

Maintain your equipment periodically and check before each use that all connections are securely fastened. High Working Pressures may result in liquid being injected into ﬂesh upon malfunction of one of the

components. Only use components that show no indications of damage. While working on the Grease Gun barrel, make certain that the open, threaded barrel-end always points away from yourself or others! Never

touch a hose that is under pressure. Never point the outlet at yourself or others. Hoses are subject to rapid aging. Never use a hose that is older than 2 years. Hoses must never be bent or twisted with force. The
